OK so I want to remove the 512mb SODIMM from my 1.25ghz 17" USB 2 iMac G4 and replace it with a 1gb chip to give me 1.25gb in total. I've read people saying that the Crucial chip works fine, but I can get a PNY one for £20 less, any reason why it wouldn't work? Is OS X still fussy about memory specs?

Any help appreciated. I'm in the UK by the way, Crucial, Kingston and PNY memory is easy enough for me to get hold of here.

PNY is one of the "well known brands." I've used a lot of PNY products, and they've always performed well for me.

(I could kinda tell you were in the UK-the "£20 less" bit tipped me off. )

Cool, I'll go for that then.

Sorry about the £/UK thing, people don't always notice and start recommending Best Buy and newegg etc!
